Re: off topic: how to block popup messages

I just started to have my first bout with these pesky
popups happening on my system! I suppose it was bound
to happen eventually. 

Damn pop-up uses the XP PRO messenger service to
display the Ad.

I can't seem to find anything loaded in the
background, during startup, or in the windows task
manager.

How can I disable windows messenger service?

thanks to any and all that can help.
